Recently, the Xinjiang Institute of Earth and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the "Continental Dynamics and Mineralization of Orogenic Belts" project. This initiative aims to develop a comprehensive metallogenic model and an ore-finding framework for the Central Asian mineral deposits, with a focus on identifying key strategic mineral resources in Xinjiang. The project is expected to map out new mining target areas that could significantly boost regional resource exploration efforts.
It is well known that Xinjiang, along with its neighboring regions in Central Asia, lies within the Central Asian metallogenic belt—a region recognized as one of the most promising areas globally for mineral resources. The cross-border metallogenic belts in this area are rich in copper, gold, lead, zinc, and other valuable minerals. To date, over 10 large copper mines have been identified, each containing more than 1 million tons of copper reserves. Additionally, several large and super-large porphyry copper deposits have been found within tens of kilometers outside Xinjiang, indicating significant untapped potential.
In the initial phase, the project has already received a funding injection of 100 million yuan. The Xinjiang Institute of Earth Sciences, in collaboration with experts from Peking University, Northwest University, Nanjing University, and the Institute of Mineral Resources at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, has conducted detailed structural and chronological analyses on some of the critical weaknesses within the world’s largest accretionary orogenic belt. Focusing on the Messteite Belt in Western Junggar and the Juerotagg Ore Belt in the East Tianshan Mountains, they have carried out large-scale rapid exploration tests in shallow-covered areas. These efforts have led to the development of regional physical mineral transport and enrichment models, grounded in clear physical mechanisms, offering strong support for future metallogenic predictions.
Zhou Kefa, director of the Geological Mineralization and Mineral Resources Research Office at the Xinjiang Institute of Earth Sciences, explained that the investigation of these two metallogenic belts primarily targets copper deposits. Two exploration test sites have already been set up. On one hand, the research emphasizes fundamental theories, aiming to clarify the metallogenic mechanisms and rules within the Central Asian orogenic belt. On the other hand, it focuses on developing ore-prospecting techniques, particularly in remote sensing and information identification technologies. This dual approach ensures that the project not only advances scientific understanding but also enhances practical applications in mineral exploration.
